Yesterday the American Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the 2012 nominees for Primetime Emmys, and in a spectacular victory for good, old-fashioned bribery, the MAD animated show on the Cartoon Network is nominated for Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program! I was stunned and confused by this, until I saw the episode that was nominated was one I did not work on . . . so then it made perfect sense.

Congrats to Kevin Schinick, Mark Marek, Peter Giradi and all the people that have made MAD such a great and popular show!
